Apparently, spiders like these can be a common occurrence for some of our fellow mountain bike riders in Brazil. This one is from Marcelo Guazzelli, who says of yesterday’s Pic Of The Day, “Spider? That? Not. This is a SPIDER!”
“These spider are common in the spring and summer (only in south of Brazil: Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and Parana). She’s big, but not dangerous for humans. Your popular name is “tarantula” or “caranguejeira” (Acanthoscurria geniculata)”
